Is it possible to have more then 18 civs in the XML files? I know the max for a scenerio is 18 civs, but is it possible to have more then that in XML? I am working on a Medieval mod, and I have idea for a few different scenerios, and I would like to be able to use a base "mod pack", and just change the factions for each scenerio, instead of copying everything for each individual scenerio.

thanks,

Kushan

Well, you can only select a maximum of 18 sides in a game, but you can have as many civs as you like in the XML file.

Could any one fix it in this kit changing game dlls or in python - to create more civs than 18?

Ok, so we will wait...
It's one of the needed things - game would be more realistic - put more than 18 civs in scenarios

firaxis could give all the source code - it would be probably the most modable game in the world ;)

It already is one of the most moddable games around. Anyway, if they released all of their code, what would stop you compiling it and getting the game for free?

Hehe, you're right :)

Perhaps they'll lost market in this situation...

Thanks for the reply.

Looking at it know it wont solve my problem as each of my scenerios will have different tech trees.

Thanks,

There is a medieval mod in progress:

Might save you some work... I think it will be fairly flexible for scenarios.

My "mod" isnt so much a mod as it is a collection of scenerios.

Thanks for the link Craig_Sutter, that will save me alot of time.

Is there a reason why the line below in CvDefines.h can't be changed and re-build the GameCoreDLL to increase the number of civs?

#define MAX_CIV_PLAYERS (18)

Yes. It doesn't work ;)

Well that's a shoddy bit of coding then. I wouldn't hire any of the Fraxis code monkeys :)
